June 2011 WOM – Keenan 2009 Chardonnay

Keenan 2009 Chardonnay

Spring Mountain District – Napa Valley

The finished wine shows citrus, ripe pear and green apple in the nose. Hints of lush white peach are noticed as the wine opens up. The sur-lie aging has added richness and complexity, and plenty of oak character returns on the finish. Like all of Keenan’s wines, this Chardonnay is food worthy wine whose crisp acidity and medium body will accompany a wide variety of fare.
